Michael Waite: Silent and Still
Australian Centre for Photography
Friday 20 January 2012 to Sunday 15 April 2012
Opening Saturday 21 January 2012 2-5pm
Michael Waite has made black and white darkroom prints from vintage negatives that date from early to mid 20th century and various parts of the world. They are purchased from second hand dealers and usually come with little to no information as to the subject, the photographer or the reason for their making.
Michael only buys those that he feels an emotional response to. Generally these are photos that give a sense of people as being defined by their culture and era. “It makes me wonder how much choice people have in determining their lives, when they seem so trapped in their time. Their horizons were limited, which is easy to see when looking back, but probably also reflects on our own lives today.”
